Building under Ubuntu 12.04 - blocks gives error "op25.cc:3115:13: error: 'ptrdiff_t' does not name a type"

OK I've just upgraded my Ubuntu box to 12.04, from 11.04 (couldn't help
myself). I'm trying to rebuild op25 but I'm getting the following error,
followed by a string of relate ones (I'm guessing)
Compiling blocks:
op25.cc:3115:13: error: 'ptrdiff_t' does not name a type
A Google search for this kind of error seems to be pointing to stricter
typedef requirements by gcc 4.6 with the solution being to include an
additional system header file cstddef. However I'm not sure where to
include this in the op25 source. I tried putting it in the op25.i swig
interface file so that it ends up in the generated op25.cc file however
that doesn't appear to have worked.
Anyone already solved this or can provide some guidance? Ubuntu 12.04
appears to be using gcc 4.6.3
Thanks
Cheers

Try including stddef.h in op25.i rather than cstddef. I think the latter
may need a "using namespace std" declaration and the former should just
work.

Hi Steve,
thanks for that suggestion. I had already tried that too but no luck so
far, same error.
Anyone else tried building op25 with gcc 4.6.3? Are you having the same
issue? Any more suggestions from anyone?
Thanks very much
Cheers

For anyone else having the same problem, a temporary hack solution is to
edit the generated file op25.cc after the first make fails, and add
#include <cstddef> right near the top of that file. I know the 'correct'
way is to edit the op25.i swig interface file and add it to the includes
there but as I previously said, I couldn't get that to work. Someone with
more swig knowledge than me can probably figure that out in due course. In
the interim this little hack will get ../op25/blocks to build.
